Got this pic today and had to contemplate the call this towtruck driver made to his boss trying to explain how his truck got in the ditch on the wrong side of the road. Mighta went something like this. "uhm, ah, hello? Boss? Uhm, I ah, sorta like went in the ditch. Ah, uhm, well see, this here old lady in a wheelchair came right out in front of me and like I didn't want to run her over so I took the ditch instead. Saved her life too, but she just took off and didn't even thank me er nuttin". LOL.
Now I know your askin yourself, "Jon, Dude, what ya doin with your big truck on such a goat path?" Well see, it's like this see, I got up this morning. Yep, that's it, all I need to do to get in a bind is get up in the morning. LOL. What actually happened was about 1 mile after I hit the road I started daydreaming and instead of going north on I57 from Effingham Il. I went east on I70. I didn't even notice my first mistake til I saw the sign welcoming me to In. and I thought "Hey, 57 doesn't cross into In". So I get out my trusty, laminated, professional driver Rand McNally and check out my options. And there it is, In. state hywy 75, a nearly straight shot north to Frankfort In. What it doesn't show on my no longer "trusty" Rand McNally is that state rd 75 in In. is a goat path with narrow lanes, no shoulders and a couple dozen 15 mph corners and is not on In. priority list for snowplowing. That little mistake probly cost me 2 hours for about 40 miles. LOL Oh well, such is the life of a PROfessional truck driver. Guess I'll just hit the road again and hope the rest of the day is not as bad.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
